Skybound have announced that after a ” ton of work logistically and legally,” work has resumed on the final few episodes of Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Here’s the full statement.
Thank you for your patience while we worked with Telltale to take control of TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD. It’s been a ton of work logistically and legally to get us to a place where we’re able to roll up our sleeves and get to the actual work. After Telltale shut its doors, the game was, unfortunately, unable to be worked on and hence the release dates of Episodes 3 and 4 have been delayed. But, we’re excited to let you know that many of the talented, passionate team members who originally worked on the game are resuming development efforts today!
Soon, we will be announcing release dates for the two remaining episodes. It’s likely that previous seasons of the game may be unavailable to purchase for a few days as we transition—but don’t panic!—we’ll have everything back online ASAP. If you already purchased Season Four, you will NOT have to pay again; future episodes will be available to download as soon as they are released via your original point of purchase.
Skybound, which is headed by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, picked up the final season of the game when Telltale collapsed, saying “We can’t lose Andrew Lincoln and Clementine in the same year.”
Previous comments form the company suggested the next episode would be finished before Christmas but that always seemed unrealistic.
